Eureka California at Losing Today

Don’t know whether to laugh or laugh even more, do you reckon we could make the destruction of Julian Cope records a national sport. Of course we joke Jules. We say this because there’s a fair amount of pathological venting of anger being administered by hammers and baseball bats upon various Cope platters in the… Continue reading Eureka California at Losing Today

Eureka California at God is in the TV

American garage-rock duo Eureka California are about to land in this country in support of their second album Crunch. Giving us fair warning of their imminent arrival and the likely destruction they will heap upon us, guitarist Jake Ward and drummer Marie A. Uhler have offered us a sneak preview of the video that accompanies album track ‘I Bet That… Continue reading Eureka California at God is in the TV

Eureka California at PerformerMag

Athens’ HHBTM Records has been knocking it out of the park lately. Like labelmates Muuy Biien, Eureka California is loud, buzzy, kinda punky and a little beyond definition. Like their (probable) ’80s garage/college rock idols, EC blends jangly, fuzzed-out guitars with bombastic melodies and a touch of humor. A frenetic energy that causes tracks to… Continue reading Eureka California at PerformerMag

Eureka California at POP! Stereo

Sometimes being obnoxious can work to your advantage. It certainly does for Eureka California who’s album Crunch is an energetic explosion of spazztic indie rock riffage and their second album in less than two years. Seemingly unable to stop making music, Eureka California can’t slow down and that inability to control themselves is reflected within… Continue reading Eureka California at POP! Stereo

Eureka California at The Skinny

Jake Ward is a clever so-and-so. Over-educated, over-stimulated and over it all – the classic American slacker tale, and one that can feel overdone when everyone’s searching for missing buttons from plaid shirts. But unlike most of his generation, he’s got tunes to amplify his smarts, and alongside turbo-charged drummer Marie A. Uhler, he’s found… Continue reading Eureka California at The Skinny

Eureka California at Innocent Words

For a duo, Eureka California make a hell of a lot of noise. The Athens indie rockers, comprised of drummer Marie Uhler and singer/guitarist Jake Ward, have just turned in their second full-length in 18 months, and far from sounding like a rushed out also ran, ‘Crunch’ is a remarkably satisfying slice of unpretentious college… Continue reading Eureka California at Innocent Words

Eureka California at Raised by Gypsies

This is my second time experiencing Eureka California and while the first was on cassette, I must admit that vinyl also does the sound justice.    I’m not going to look at my cassette review of theirs for reference because then I might feel as if I’m referencing the same bands, but here is what I… Continue reading Eureka California at Raised by Gypsies
